Canoe couple are sentenced by sweet east pearl

Back-from-the-dead canoeist John Darwin and his wife have both been jailed for over six years for their "callous and calculated" £250,000 fraud.

Her husband John who staged his own death but pleaded guilty to the fraud was jailed for six years and three months.

Anne Darwin, 56, was convicted by a jury at Teesside Crown Court of six counts of fraud and nine of money laundering today.

The couple tricked the police, insurance companies and even their two sons Mark, 32, and Anthony, 29, into believing he drowned in the North Sea in 2002 - only for Mr Darwin to turn up at a London police station last year.
